Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a pressing device and an integrated stove. Background Art

[0002] The pressing device generally has a pressing end and an output end. When a user presses the pressing end, the pressing end moves in a pressing direction, causing the output end to move in a predetermined direction.

[0003] In some pressing devices, the predetermined direction of movement of the output end needs to be different from the pressing direction, which involves the conversion of the force direction by the pressing device. Typically, the pressing device includes an outer shell, a pressing member, and a pushing member. The pressing end is located on the pressing member, and the output end is located on the pushing member. The pressing member is subjected to pressure from the user and transmits the pressure to the pushing member, which is then subjected to the pressing force of the pressing member and the supporting force of the outer shell. Under the combined action of these two forces, the pushing member can move in the predetermined direction, that is, the output end moves in the predetermined direction.

[0004] However, during the movement of the pusher, while receiving support from the outer shell, there is a large friction between the pusher and the outer shell, which causes the pusher to move less smoothly, affecting the smoothness of the overall operation of the pressing device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art, according to one aspect of the present invention, a pressing device is provided. The pressing device includes a mounting housing, a pressing member, a pushing member, and a rolling member, wherein the mounting housing has a support surface; at least a portion of the structure of the pressing member is located outside the mounting housing, and at least a portion of the structure of the pressing member extends into the mounting housing and is movable relative to the mounting housing in a first direction under the action of an external force; at least a portion of the structure of the pushing member is located within the mounting housing, the pushing member abuts against the pressing member, and is movable relative to the mounting housing in a second direction under the action of the pressing member, wherein the second direction satisfies a perpendicular condition to the first direction; and the rolling member is disposed on a side of the pushing member away from the pressing member and rolls along the second direction with the pushing member, wherein the rolling member and the support surface form point-to-surface contact with each other.

[0006] The pressing device provided herein has a rolling member disposed on the side of the pushing member facing away from the pressing member. Under the action of the pressing member, the rolling member rolls to move the pushing member in the second direction, thereby reducing friction between the pushing member and the supporting surface. The point-to-surface contact between the rolling member and the supporting surface effectively reduces the contact area between the pushing member and the supporting surface, further reducing friction between the pushing member and the supporting surface during movement, thereby enabling smoother movement of the pushing member and smoother operation of the pressing device as a whole.

[0007] Exemplarily, the rolling element includes a main body and a first ball bearing. The main body is connected to the pusher and has a receiving cavity disposed therein. Part of the first ball bearing's structure is located within the receiving cavity, while another part of the first ball bearing's structure is located outside the receiving cavity and forms a point-to-surface contact with the supporting surface. Thus, during movement of the pusher, since the rolling direction of the first ball bearing is unrestricted, the first ball bearing can better enhance the stability of the pusher bearing during movement. In particular, in actual operation, the movement of the pusher bearing inevitably deviates from the second direction. Such a rolling element can better ensure the smooth movement of the pusher bearing.

[0008] For example, a plurality of second balls are further disposed within the accommodating cavity, positioned between the first ball and the main body, and capable of rolling relative to both the first ball and the main body. This allows for point-to-point contact between the second balls and the main body, while point-to-point contact between the second balls and the first balls, thereby minimizing contact area, reducing friction, and enabling smoother rolling of the rolling element and smoother operation of the pressing mechanism.

[0009] For example, a retaining ring is provided on the side of the main body facing away from the pusher. The retaining ring seals a portion of the first ball and a plurality of second balls within the receiving cavity. Another portion of the first ball extends outside the retaining ring, forming point-to-surface contact with the support surface. This retaining ring effectively secures the first ball within the receiving cavity, simplifying the installation process of the rolling element.

[0010] For example, a guide slope is provided on the side of the pusher member facing the pressing member. The pressing member abuts against the guide slope and, by squeezing the guide slope, causes the pusher member to move in the second direction. Thus, the provision of the guide slope can better convert the force applied by the pressing member in the first direction into force in the second direction, simplifying the structural arrangement of the pressing device.

[0011] Exemplarily, the pusher includes a push block and a push rod, the push rod being disposed on a side of the push block, the guide slope being disposed on a top surface of the push block and sloping downwardly away from the push rod, and the mounting housing being provided with a first through hole. When the pusher moves in a second direction, the push rod extends out of the mounting housing through the first through hole or retracts into the mounting housing. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the pusher, and the guide slope being disposed on the push block more fully utilizes the inherent structure of the push block, simplifying the overall structure of the pressing device.

[0012] Exemplarily, a first limiting rib is provided at the position of the mounting shell corresponding to the first through hole extending toward the push block, and a first elastic member is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first limiting rib. One end of the first elastic member abuts against the inner wall of the mounting shell and the other end abuts against the push block. When the pressing member is pressed, the push block moves toward the first through hole in the second direction, squeezing the first elastic member. The first elastic member generates a force in the opposite direction on the push block, exerting a certain damping effect on the movement of the push member. After the pressing is completed, the pressing member no longer squeezes the push block, and the first elastic member recovers its deformation under the action of its own elasticity, so as to push the push block to move along the second direction away from the first through hole, thereby better resetting the push block to facilitate the next press by the user.

[0013] For example, the support surface is provided with a guide rib extending in the second direction, and a slide groove is provided on the side of the push block facing the support surface. When the push member moves in the second direction, the guide rib and the slide groove slide relative to each other. The provision of the guide rib can better guide the movement of the push block and further ensure the stability of the movement of the push member.

[0014] For example, a pulley is provided at one end of the pressing member near the pushing member. When the pressing member moves in the first direction, the pulley abuts against the guide inclined surface and rotates relative to the guide inclined surface. In this way, the rotation of the pulley can effectively reduce friction between the pressing member and the pushing member, making the pressing process of the pressing device smoother.

[0015] Exemplarily, the pressing member includes a pressing rod, a pulley is disposed at the bottom of the pressing rod, a second limiting rib is disposed on the outer periphery of the middle portion of the pressing rod, the second limiting rib is located outside the mounting housing, and a second elastic member is disposed between the second limiting rib and the mounting housing. When the pressing member is subjected to an external force in a first direction toward the push block, the second elastic member is squeezed, generating a force in the opposite direction on the pressing member, thereby providing a certain damping effect on the movement of the pressing member. After the external force applied to the pressing member disappears, the second elastic member recovers its deformation under the action of its own elasticity, causing the pressing member to move in the first direction away from the push block, that is, allowing the pressing member to be better reset to facilitate the user's next press.

[0016] For example, a second through-hole is provided on the top surface of the mounting housing, and the pressing rod extends through the second through-hole to the inner side of the mounting housing. A third limiting rib is provided on the mounting housing at a position corresponding to the second through-hole and extending in the first direction. The second elastic member is positioned between the third limiting rib and the pressing rod. The provision of the third limiting rib can better limit the movement of the second elastic member and the pressing member, ensuring the stability of the pressing member's movement in the first direction.

[0017] For example, a limiting spring is provided at the top of the third limiting rib, and the top of the second limiting rib abuts against the limiting spring. The provision of the limiting spring can better define the position of the pressing member in the original state. The second limiting rib is always located between the limiting spring and the mounting housing, preventing the pressing member from being dislodged from the mounting housing, resulting in a simpler and more reasonable structural arrangement.

[0018] According to another aspect of the present invention, an integrated stove is provided. The integrated stove includes an integrated stove body and any of the above-described pressing devices. The integrated stove body includes an installation space for installing a cooking device. The installation housing is connected to the integrated stove body. When the pusher moves in the second direction, a portion of the pusher extends into the installation space.

[0019] The Summary of the Invention introduces a series of simplified concepts that will be further described in detail in the Detailed Description of the Invention. This Summary of the Invention is not intended to limit the key features and essential features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In the following description, a large amount of detail is provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the following description merely illustrates preferred embodiments of the present invention, and that the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well known in the art have not been described in detail.

[0034] To provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, a detailed description of the structure will be provided in the following description. It should be understood that the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in detail, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may also have other embodiments.

[0035] The embodiment of the present invention provides a pressing device. The pressing device can be applied to any type of integrated stove or cabinet. Figure 1-3The pressing device 10 may include a mounting shell 110, a pressing member 120, a pushing member 130, and a rolling member 140. The mounting shell 110 may be used for mounting and connecting with external components. For example, when used in an integrated stove, the mounting shell 110 may be connected to the main body of the integrated stove. The mounting shell 110 may have a support surface 1110. At least part of the structure of the pressing member 120 may be located outside the mounting shell 110, and at least part of the structure of the pressing member 120 may extend into the mounting shell 110 and be movable relative to the mounting shell 110 in a first direction XX under the action of an external force. During use, a user may contact the part of the structure of the pressing member 120 located outside the mounting shell 110 and apply an external force, and the part of the structure located inside the mounting shell 110 may move relative to the mounting shell 110 in the first direction XX under the action of the external force. At least part of the structure of the pushing member 130 may be located inside the mounting shell 110. The pushing member 130 can abut against the pressing member 120 and, under the action of the pressing member 120, can move relative to the mounting housing 110 in a second direction YY, where the second direction YY is perpendicular to the first direction XX. The rolling member 140 can be disposed on a side of the pushing member 130 facing away from the pressing member 120 and can roll along the second direction YY with the pushing member 130. The rolling member 140 can form point-to-surface contact with the support surface 1110. The rolling member 140 can be spherical or a roller, as long as point-to-surface contact between the rolling member 140 and the support surface 1110 is ensured.

[0036] by Figure 2 For example, the pressing member 120 is subjected to a force along the first direction XX toward the support surface 1110 (ie Figure 2 (the downward force in the middle), the pressing member 120 and the pushing member 130 counteract each other, and the force exerted by the pressing member 120 on the pushing member 130 can be decomposed into two forces, downward and leftward. At the same time, the support surface 1110 supports the pushing member 130 through the rolling member 140, which can balance the downward force exerted by the pressing member 120 on the pushing member 130. Then, the pushing member 130 moves to the left (i.e., moves in the second direction YY) under the action of the leftward force. Among them, the rolling member 140 is located between the supporting surface 1110 and the pushing member 130, and can transmit the supporting force of the supporting surface 1110. In the process of the pushing member 130 moving to the left, the rolling member 140 can reduce friction by rolling, and the rolling member 140 and the support surface 1110 are in point-to-surface contact, which can further reduce friction.

[0037] Compared to the prior art solution in which the outer shell directly contacts the bottom surface of the pushing member, the pressing device 10 provided in the present application has a rolling member 140 disposed on the side of the pushing member 130 facing away from the pressing member 120. Under the action of the pressing member 120, the rolling member 140 rolls to achieve movement of the pushing member 130 along the second direction YY, thereby reducing friction between the pushing member 130 and the supporting surface 1110. The point-to-surface contact between the rolling member 140 and the supporting surface 1110 can effectively reduce the contact area between the pushing member 130 and the supporting surface 1110, further reducing friction between the pushing member 130 and the supporting surface 1110 during movement, thereby ensuring smooth movement of the pushing member 130 and smoother operation of the pressing device 10 as a whole.

[0038] For example, with reference to Figure 3-5 The rolling member 140 may include a main body 1410 and a first ball 1420. The main body 1410 may be connected to the pushing member 130 and a receiving cavity 1411 may be provided inside the main body 1410. Part of the structure of the first ball 1420 may be located inside the receiving cavity 1411, and another part of the structure of the first ball 1420 may be located outside the receiving cavity 1411 and form a point-to-surface contact with the support surface 1110. The receiving cavity 1411 as a whole may be hemispherical so that the first ball 1420 can roll more smoothly therein. It can be understood that the first ball 1420 is spherical and part of its structure is located inside the receiving cavity 1411, and it can roll in any direction. In this way, during the movement of the pushing member 130, since the rolling direction of the first ball 1420 is not restricted, the first ball 1420 can better improve the stability of the pushing member 130 when the pushing member 130 moves. In particular, in actual operation, the movement of the pusher 130 will inevitably deviate from the second direction YY. The rolling member 140 provided in this manner can better ensure the smooth movement of the pusher 130. In embodiments not shown, the rolling member can be a structural member of any other shape. For example, the rolling member can be a roller with an arc-shaped outer contour in the axial cross section of the roller.

[0039] For example, with reference to Figure 4 and 5A plurality of second balls 1430 may also be disposed within the accommodating cavity 1411. The plurality of second balls 1430 may be located between the first ball 1420 and the main body 1410, and the plurality of second balls 1430 may roll relative to both the first ball 1420 and the main body 1410. The accommodating cavity 1411 may be hemispherical in shape, and the plurality of second balls 1430 may be flatly arranged within the accommodating cavity 1411, surrounding the first ball 1420. Alternatively, an annular groove may be disposed within the accommodating cavity 1411, with the plurality of second balls 1430 disposed within the annular groove and in contact with the first ball 1420. In this manner, the plurality of second balls 1430 and the main body 1410 are in point-to-point contact, while the plurality of second balls 1430 and the first ball 1420 are in point-to-point contact, thereby effectively reducing the contact area, reducing friction, and allowing the rolling element 140 to roll more smoothly, thereby enhancing the smooth operation of the pressing device 10. In an embodiment not shown, other structural members may be used between the second ball and the main body to reduce friction, or only the first ball may be arranged in the accommodating cavity.

[0040] For example, continue to combine with reference Figure 4 and 5 A fixing ring 1440 may be provided on the side of the main body 1410 facing away from the pusher 130. The fixing ring 1440 may cover part of the structure of the first ball 1420 and the plurality of second balls 1430 in the accommodating cavity 1411, and another part of the structure of the first ball 1420 may extend outside the fixing ring 1440 to form point-to-surface contact with the support surface 1110. An annular fixing groove may be provided on the top of the cavity corresponding to the accommodating cavity 1411 of the main body 1410, and the fixing ring 1440 may be snapped into the annular fixing groove. The inner diameter of the fixing ring 1440 may be smaller than the diameter of the first ball 1420. The installation process of the rolling element 140 may be as follows: the plurality of second balls 1430 are spread flat in the accommodating cavity 1411, and then the first ball 1420 is installed on the outside of the plurality of second balls 1430, and finally the fixing ring 1440 is snapped onto the main body 1410. In this way, the fixing ring 1440 can better fix the first rolling ball 1420 in the accommodating cavity 1411, and the installation process of the rolling element 140 is simpler.

[0041] For example, with reference to Figure 2 and 6, a guide slope 1311 can be provided on the side of the pushing member 130 facing the pressing member 120, and the pressing member 120 can abut against the guide slope 1311 and move the pushing member 130 in the second direction by squeezing the guide slope 1311. The pushing member 130 abuts against the guide slope 1311, and while squeezing the guide slope 1311, the guide slope 1311 is subjected to the squeezing force and moves along the second direction YY. In this way, the setting of the guide slope 1311 can better convert the force in the first direction XX applied by the pressing member 120 into the force in the second direction YY, and the structural setting of the pressing device 10 is simpler. Preferably, a guide groove 1311a can be provided in the guide slope 1311 to further limit the position of the pressing member 120 relative to the pushing member 130, better ensure the squeezing of the pushing member 130 by the pressing member 120, and make the movement of the pushing member 130 smoother. In an embodiment not shown, other steering structures may be provided between the pushing member and the pressing member to convert the moving direction.

[0042] For example, with reference to Figure 1 、 2 , 6 and 8, the pushing member 130 may include a pushing block 1310 and a pushing rod 1320, and the pushing rod 1320 may be arranged on the side of the pushing block 1310. The pushing rod 1320 may be extended along the second direction YY. The guiding slope 1311 may be provided on the top surface of the pushing block 1310 and inclined downward in the direction away from the pushing rod 1320, and the mounting shell 110 may be provided with a first through hole 1120, and the first through hole 1120 may be located on the side of the mounting shell 110. When the pushing member 130 moves in the second direction YY, the pushing rod 1320 extends out of the mounting shell 110 through the first through hole 1120 or retracts into the mounting shell 110. Specifically, Figure 2 Taking the perspective shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the pressing member 120 moves toward the support surface 1110 along the first direction XX, and the pressing member 120 contacts the guide slope 1311 and squeezes the push block 1310. Under the action of the guide slope 1311, the squeezed push block 1310 moves toward the push rod 1320 along the second direction YY (i.e. Figure 2 (left side in the figure), push rod 1320 and push block 1310 move together, and a portion of push rod 1320 can extend outside of mounting housing 110. Thus, movement of push rod 1320 in a first direction XX enables movement of push block 1310 in a second direction YY. This arrangement simplifies the structure of push member 130. The guide slope provided on push block 1310 fully utilizes the inherent structure of push block 1310, simplifying the overall structure of pressing device 10.

[0043] For example, with reference to Figure 2 、 6and 8. A first limiting rib 1130 may be provided at the position of the mounting shell 110 corresponding to the first through hole 1120 extending toward the push block 1310. The first limiting rib 1130 may be cylindrical and extend along the second direction YY. A first elastic member 150 may be sleeved on the periphery of the first limiting rib 1130, one end of the first elastic member 150 may abut against the inner wall of the mounting shell 110 and the other end may abut against the push block 1310. The push block 1310 may always be subjected to a force in the direction away from the first through hole 1120 along the second direction YY. When the pressing member 120 is pressed, the push block 1310 moves toward the first through hole 1120 along the second direction YY, squeezing the first elastic member 150. The first elastic member 150 generates a force in the opposite direction on the push block 1310, thereby generating a certain damping effect on the movement of the pushing member 130. After the pressing is completed, the pressing member 120 no longer squeezes the push block 1310, and the first elastic member 150 recovers its deformation under the action of its own elasticity to push the push block 1310 to move along the second direction YY away from the first through hole 1120, so that the push block 1310 is better reset to facilitate the user to press next time.

[0044] For example, with reference to Figure 1 、 8 9, the support surface 1110 may be provided with a guide rib 1140 extending along the second direction YY, and a slide groove 1330 may be provided on the side of the push block 1310 facing the support surface 1110. When the push member 130 moves in the second direction YY, the guide rib 1140 and the slide groove 1330 slide relative to each other. The provision of the guide rib 1140 can better guide the movement of the push block 1310, further ensuring the stability of the movement of the push member 130. For example, the outer edge of the guide rib 1140 may be rounded to reduce friction with the slide groove 1330. In an embodiment not shown, the guide rib may not be provided on the support surface, and the slide groove may not be provided on the side of the push member facing the support surface, that is, the support surface is flat, and the side of the push member facing the support surface is also flat.

[0045] For example, with reference to Figure 1 、 2, 8 and 9, the end of the pressing member 120 near the pushing member 130 can be provided with a pulley 1210. When the pressing member 120 moves in the first direction XX, the pulley 1210 can abut against the guide bevel 1311 and rotate relative to the guide bevel 1311. When the pressing member 120 contacts the guide bevel 1311, friction is generated while the two are squeezed. In this way, the friction between the pressing member 120 and the pushing member 130 can be effectively reduced by the rotation of the pulley 1210, and the pressing process of the pressing device 10 is smoother. Exemplarily, the end of the pressing member 120 near the pushing member 130 can be provided with a pulley mounting seat 1240, and the pulley 1210 is mounted on the pulley mounting seat 1240 by a fastener 1250. In an embodiment not shown, the end of the pressing member near the pushing member can be free of a pulley, and the movement of the pushing member in the second direction is achieved only by the friction and squeezing between the end of the pressing member and the pushing member 130.

[0046] For example, with reference to Figure 1 and 7 The pressing member 120 may include a pressing rod 1220, a pulley 1210 disposed at the bottom of the pressing rod 1220, and a second limiting rib 1230 may be disposed on the outer periphery of the middle portion of the pressing rod 1220. The second limiting rib 1230 may be located outside the mounting housing 110, and a second elastic member 160 may be disposed between the second limiting rib 1230 and the mounting housing 110. In other words, one end of the second elastic member 160 abuts against the second limiting rib 1230, and the other end abuts against the mounting housing 110. When the pressing member 120 is subjected to an external force in the first direction XX toward the push block 1310, the second elastic member 160 is squeezed, generating a force in the opposite direction to the pressing member 120, thereby providing a certain damping effect on the movement of the pressing member 120. After the external force on the pressing member 120 disappears, the second elastic member 160 recovers its deformation under the action of its own elasticity, so that the pressing member 120 moves along the first direction XX away from the push block 1310, that is, the pressing member 120 is better reset to facilitate the user to press it next time.

[0047] For example, with reference to Figure 1 and 2 The top surface of the mounting housing 110 may be provided with a second through-hole 1160, through which the pressing rod 1220 may pass to the inner side of the mounting housing 110. A third limiting rib 1150 may be provided on the mounting housing 110 at a position corresponding to the second through-hole 1160, extending along the first direction XX. The second elastic member 160 is located between the third limiting rib 1150 and the pressing rod 1220. The provision of the third limiting rib 1150 can better limit the movement of the second elastic member 160 and the pressing member 120, thereby ensuring the stability of the pressing member 120 in moving along the first direction XX.

[0048] For example, with reference to Figure 1 and 3 , a limiting spring piece 1170 can be provided at the top of the third limiting rib 1150, and the top of the second limiting rib 1230 can be against the limiting spring piece 1170. When the pressing member 120 moves along the first direction XX, the pressing member 120 has two limit positions relative to the mounting shell 110. The pressing member 120 in the original state (i.e., not subject to external force) is at the first limit position. When the pressing member 120 moves to the maximum displacement along the first direction XX toward the support surface 1110 under the action of external force, the position of the pressing member 120 is the second limit position. The setting of the limiting spring piece 1170 can better limit the position of the pressing member 120 in the original state. The second limiting rib 1230 is always located between the limiting spring piece 1170 and the mounting shell 110 to prevent the pressing member 120 from falling off the mounting shell 110. The structural setting is simpler and more reasonable. Specifically, an elastic piece fixing rib 1190 is provided on the outer periphery of the third limiting rib 1150 , and the limiting elastic piece 1170 is installed to the third limiting rib 1150 through the limiting elastic piece 1170 .

[0049] For example, referring to Figure 1 The mounting housing 110 may be provided with a cover plate 1180 that is buckled onto the mounting housing 110. A space for mounting the rolling element 140, a portion of the pusher 130, and a portion of the pressing element 120 may be formed between the cover plate 1180 and the mounting housing 110.

[0050] For example, the number of rolling elements 140 can be set according to the use requirements. There can be two rolling elements 140 and they can be spaced apart from each other. In the embodiment with the chute 1330, there can be two rolling elements 140 and they can be symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the chute 1330.

[0051] In existing technology, some integrated stoves incorporate cooking appliances such as rice cookers to enhance their functionality. These appliances are installed within the internal space of the integrated stove, but the space inside is often limited, resulting in a small amount of space around the cooking appliances. This makes some cooking appliances that require side pressure to open difficult to open.

[0052] According to another aspect of the present invention, an integrated stove is provided. The integrated stove may include an integrated stove body and any of the aforementioned pressing devices 10. A mounting space for a cooking device may be provided within the integrated stove body. A mounting housing 110 is connected to the integrated stove body. When a pusher 130 moves in a second direction YY, a portion of the pusher 130 may extend into the mounting space. The cooking device may be a rice cooker, an electric cooker, or any other device. For example, the portion of the pusher 130 extending into the mounting space may contact the rice cooker within the mounting space. Specifically, the rice cooker within the mounting space may have a switch with a push-to-unlock direction. The pusher 130 may be aligned with the switch, and the push-to-unlock direction is parallel to the second direction YY. In this manner, a user can press the pusher 120 in the first direction XX. The pusher 120 compresses the pusher 130, causing the pusher 130 and the rolling member 140 to move in the second direction YY. Part of the pusher 130 extends into the mounting space and pushes the switch of the rice cooker, turning it on. Illustratively, the mounting shell 110 can be mounted on the door panel of the integrated stove. The user exposes the mounting space by pulling out the door panel to operate the rice cooker. Setting up the integrated stove in this way can be better suitable for rice cookers that are opened by pressing the side and the top, thereby improving the applicability of the integrated stove to different types of rice cookers. Since the pressing device 10 adopts the technical solution of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, the integrated stove has at least the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solution of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described one by one here. In addition, the integrated stove may also include a cooker, a steam oven, and the like. The cooker and the steam oven may have various structures that exist or may appear in the future, which do not constitute a limitation to the scope of protection of the present invention.
